Right now X is blowing up with leftists saying Mamdani has “fixed” the budget. It’s of course because he took a massive 8 billion loan from the state, then kicked the can on the NYC pensions so the debt from those over doubles by next (with interest). The problem with this argument is 80% of America doesn’t care, they are functionally economically illiterate, and ~40% have no concept of time other than the next 10 seconds.

Trying to tell leftists about a budget is like trying to explain refrigeration to South Asians. The overwhelming majority won’t understand it, the few that can don’t want the rest to understand it because they’re running a con off it.
